Case Reports
Congestive cardiomyopathy and left ventricular thrombus
Arch Intern Med.
1983 Jul.
Abstract
A left ventricular thrombus was detected by echocardiography in a 54-year-old man with congestive cardiomyopathy. With the use of anticoagulants, the thrombus completely disappeared. Patients with congestive cardiomyopathy who are at high risk for thrombus formation should be screened with two-dimensional echocardiography. If a thrombus is recognized, anticoagulation therapy can then be instituted.
